Sustainability committee backs construction of two Green Crescent Trail segments
Summary
The committee voted to ask City Council to begin construction of two segments of the Green Crescent Trail in 2025: Nettles Park to Toddy’s Place, and Berkeley Drive between Ashley Deering/Toddy's Place and Frontage Road.
The Sustainability Advisory Committee voted Feb. 12 to ask the City of Clemson to begin construction work in 2025 on two portions of the Green Crescent Trail: (1) Nettles Park to Toddy’s Place and (2) Berkeley Drive between Ashley, Deering/Toddy’s Place and Frontage Road.
Why it matters: Committee members said advancing these segments supports pedestrian connectivity on the city’s east side and ties into ongoing discussions about extending the trail onto campus and connecting to the Botanical Garden and Gateway Park.
Details: The motion was introduced at the meeting as a follow-up to an earlier presentation from Chad (Green Crescent Trail organizer). The committee chair noted that the request is advisory; City Council retains authority over appropriations and construction scheduling. The motion passed with committee members saying they will present the recommendation to City Council and arrange for Chad to attend and explain the project.
Next steps: A committee representative will meet with City Council to communicate the committee’s priority for the two segments and to coordinate with the trail organizer and city staff on scheduling and funding.
